[edit] Most non-standard disambiguation page I've ever seen

Disamb pages are supposed to be simple lists with minimal commentary—this one has a picture!!! I plan to edit this mercilessly, unless someone wants to read WP:MOSDAB and beat me to it. —johndburger 15:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Self Inflicted Stigma should be covered in association to the Mental health industry. We as consumers put stigma of being mentaly ill on our own being. While others except us we keep nagging ourselves that we are ill mentally and wont allow us to go forward... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.195.153.31 (talk • contribs) 2006-09-08T23:48:54 (UTC)

Sorry, I must disagree. The definition of Stigma has drastically changed. johndburger. The definition of Stigma in this day & age is truely not just a matter of using the wrong word or action. Stigma is about Mental Illness. About disrespect. It is the use of negative labels to identify a person living with mental illness. It has come full ircle and now is most definitely associated with Mental Illness. ~Lindsay Reday 04:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
